            STANDING IN SOLIDARITY WITH UNITED AUTO WORKERS

  (Mr. NORCROSS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NORCROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in solidarity with the nearly 
150,000 United Auto Workers who are fighting for fair pay, better 
benefits, and safer working conditions.
  These workers have built $250 billion in profit for the Big Three 
automakers over the past decade, but they have been left behind. The 
Big Three CEOs, the big bosses, have increased by an estimated 40 
percent in their compensation over the last 4 years, but workers over 
the last 4 years, 6 percent--a measly 6 percent.
  To put that in perspective, Big Three corporate bosses, $12,000 an 
hour. Those starting wages for the autoworkers, 18 bucks an hour.
  This says it all. It should be fair, but this is unjust and 
unacceptable. Workers deserve a fair wage and benefits that reflect 
their hard work.
  Mr. Speaker, we urge them to be supported.
